| 178300 | 8551 | Bonzers... | 7 | Planktom | Jul 17, 2020 | 2020-07-17T05:11:57-0400 | I'd echo what Bman has said... I have had a 6'7" RS, a 6'8" Egg (no wing) and a McCallum 5'11" which is similar to a Campbell Mini LV. RS will happily surf in less-than-stellar waves, but is a rock-solid board in chunky surf. Egg has a similar range to the RS in many ways, but is slightly more satisfying to surf in smaller/not so hollow waves as there is more curve in the tail. I took the egg to Bali a few years back and had some happy sessions on it at overhead Uluwatu Racetrack/Temples. The McCallum flew in both hollow and flatter-faced surf from waist-high to just overhead. It would have probably gone well in big, clean point surf too, but I never had the chance. We have a lot of jumbled surf in the UK, with onshores and crossed-up windswell being common and I think that the assertion that bonzers only go in clean waves is a little unfair, they are more versatile than many people think is the case. I am constantly swapping out boards and experimenting, so no of the above are still with me, but I would happily have the Mac back or another egg in a heartbeat. There was nothing wrong with the RS at all, but I just feel the egg is a better all-rounder. |
